By the invention :i frame is provided which can be applied to otlice and store furniture in order to effectively hold n layer of concrete which is subsequently applied to the frame. The. concrete layer is then painted or finished in any suitable nimmer. The reinforcing freine may be also applied to completed ceilings, partitions, stairczises and the like in order to .hold a layer of concrete and thus multe the structures lircprooif, or muy be used in the construction of, such structures.

`With these ends in View the invention consists in the novel 'features and combination of ports to be hereinafter described und claimed.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure l represents ai plunyiew of my improved i'ireprooi covering for oiiice und store furniture, fixtures, ete, Fig. 2 n Vertical transverse section of t A 3 is :i detail perspective View of thD ribs and the `Wire-netting supported on the seine, drawn on larger scale, und Figs. 4 and 5, are details of a folded rib end the recess in the Similar letters of reference indicate corres spending parts.
